The Global Common Good: Towards a More Inclusive Economy
“No” to an economy of exclusion
[…] Human beings are themselves considered consumer goods to be used and then discarded. We have created a “throw away” culture which is now spreading. It is no longer simply about exploitation and oppression, but something new. Exclusion ultimately has to do with what it means to be a part of the society in which we live; those excluded are no longer society’s underside or its fringes or its disenfranchised – they are no longer even a part of it. The excluded are not the “exploited” but the outcast, the “leftovers”.
In this context, some people continue to defend trickle-down theories which assume that economic growth, encouraged by a free market, will inevitably succeed in bringing about greater justice and inclusiveness in the world. This opinion, which has never been confirmed by the facts, expresses a crude and naïve trust in the goodness of those wielding economic power and in the sacralized workings of the prevailing economic system. Meanwhile, the excluded are still waiting. To sustain a lifestyle which excludes others, or to sustain enthusiasm for that selfish ideal, a globalization of indifference has developed. Almost without being aware of it, we end up being incapable of feeling compassion at the outcry of the poor, weeping for other people’s pain, and feeling a need to help them, as though all this were someone else’s responsibility and not our own. The culture of prosperity deadens us; we are thrilled if the market offers us something new to purchase. In the meantime all those lives stunted for lack of opportunity seem a mere spectacle; they fail to move us.
Evangelii Gaudium, n. 53-54

The Global Common Good: Towards a More Inclusive Economy
Seminar Description
A more inclusive economy, according to the seminar discussion paper for the closed-door seminar, will be “based on respect for the dignity of the human person” and be “supported by justice, temperance and the culture of gift and gratuity.” In practice it will show itself “capable of marking a substantial change in the conditions, styles and models of life of all humanity, preserving and improving the environment for current and future generations.”
Pope Francis recognizes the great contributions made by business and finance to human development over the centuries. The world’s economic leaders “have demonstrated their aptitude for being innovative and for improving the lives of many people by their ingenuity and professional expertise.” Through this seminar, the Holy Father continues to challenge how the economy can extend the benefits and reverse the gaping inequalities and worsening exclusions. As Pope Francis said earlier this year, global business and financial communities “can further contribute by putting their skills at the service of those who are still living in dire poverty.”
To debate such issues and propose constructive remedies is important, timely, and indeed urgent for all of humanity including Catholics and believers worldwide who are ready to work harder for a better world.
It is through this seminar that Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (PCJP) hopes to gain additional insights and help in better understanding how to improve the shared lot of humankind within a globalized economy, and enable an estimated 2 billion people to escape from dire poverty.
The seminar materials confirm that Catholic Social Teaching does not fight a market-based economy provided it operates in a coordinated fashion and is oriented toward the common good; where the free market develops with inclusivity, stability, transparency and democracy (rather than an oligarchy). This means an economy that considers its political and philosophical base as well as its financial impact.
